Last Updated: October 9, 2026
Investozora is an independent financial news and economic research publication founded in August 2025 by Adarsha Dhakal. The publication provides original reporting, economic analysis, official data research, and public information resources covering the United States economy, Federal Reserve policy, U.S. Treasury operations, financial markets, banking, inflation, employment, taxation, Social Security, and federal financial systems.
Investozora respects the privacy of its readers and recognizes that responsible digital publishing requires meaningful choices concerning the collection, disclosure, and use of personal information.
This Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information notice explains how readers may exercise applicable privacy rights, particularly those concerning the sale or sharing of personal information for advertising purposes. It also explains the difference between ordinary website operations, third-party advertising technologies, targeted advertising, and other forms of data processing.
The publication does not directly sell databases of reader contact information as a commercial product. However, certain interactions involving online advertising providers, cookies, device identifiers, or browsing activity may constitute a sale or sharing of personal information under applicable privacy laws.
Investozora recognizes that privacy protection depends on the actual handling of information rather than the terminology used to describe an advertising relationship.
This notice complements the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which provide further information about data collection, tracking technologies, retention, security, and reader choices.
Purpose and Scope of This Notice
This notice addresses privacy rights associated with personal information processed through investozora.com and its related website services.
Its primary purpose is to explain how individuals may request restrictions on certain disclosures of their personal information and how those requests relate to the technologies used for advertising and website measurement.
Depending on the applicable law, individuals may also have rights to access personal information, request corrections, obtain deletion, limit certain processing activities, or exercise other statutory privacy protections.
These rights are not identical in every jurisdiction. Their availability depends on the law that applies to the processing activity and the circumstances of the individual concerned.
Investozora seeks to provide understandable information about privacy choices without representing that every privacy statute automatically applies to all visitors or every aspect of its publishing operations.
Readers are encouraged to use the contact procedures described in this notice when they have a question about the information collected through the website or wish to exercise an applicable privacy right.
What Selling or Sharing Personal Information Means
Privacy laws may define selling and sharing personal information more broadly than an ordinary commercial sale.
A traditional sale may involve transferring personal information to another organization in exchange for payment. However, certain laws also address disclosures made for other forms of valuable consideration or for specified advertising purposes.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising is specifically regulated.
Cross-context behavioral advertising generally involves selecting advertisements based on a consumer’s activity across different businesses, websites, applications, or services.
A website may therefore engage in legally regulated sharing without directly selling a list of names, email addresses, or customer records.
Information such as browser identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, and browsing activity may qualify as personal information when it can identify, relate to, describe, or reasonably be associated with an individual or household under the applicable legal definition.
Investozora does not assume that information is outside privacy regulation merely because it is collected automatically or does not contain a reader’s name.
Official information about these rights and definitions is available from the California Privacy Protection Agency.
Advertising Technologies and Data Sharing
Investozora may display advertisements to help support its financial journalism, economic research, and publicly accessible information resources.
The publication’s website disclosures identify Google AdSense and programmatic advertising technologies as services used or supported for advertising purposes.
Depending on their configuration, these technologies may process information about a browser, device, page visit, approximate location, advertising interaction, or other technical activity.
Advertising providers may use identifiers and related information to deliver advertisements, measure performance, detect invalid activity, or support personalization where permitted.
Contextual advertising and personalized advertising are not identical. Contextual advertising is generally selected according to the content or circumstances of a webpage, while personalized advertising may involve information associated with a reader’s activity across different websites or services.
The legal treatment of a particular disclosure depends on the information involved, the recipient’s role, the purpose of processing, and the applicable law.
Investozora’s use of an advertising service does not establish that every disclosure is a sale or sharing of personal information. Equally, the absence of a direct payment for reader information does not automatically establish that advertising-related sharing is outside applicable privacy rules.
The publication seeks to maintain a clear distinction between advertising operations and the independent editorial decisions governing its reporting.
Categories of Personal Information That May Be Involved
Depending on the website technologies in operation, advertising and analytics services may process technical information generated when a reader accesses Investozora.
Such information may include IP addresses, device characteristics, browser versions, operating systems, cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, approximate geographic information, referring pages, and records of website interactions.
Certain services may also process information concerning the pages visited, the timing of a visit, the delivery of an advertisement, or an interaction with website content.
Some of these records may be aggregated for reporting purposes, while others may contain identifiers capable of distinguishing individual browsers or devices.
Investozora does not require readers to provide Social Security numbers, bank account credentials, tax identification numbers, or confidential investment account information to access its public articles and research resources.
Personal information voluntarily submitted through contact forms, correction requests, or newsletter registrations is collected for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy.
The publication does not treat voluntary submission of information for editorial correspondence as authorization for unrelated advertising uses.
The categories of information collected depend on the actual services deployed and their configurations, which should remain consistent with the disclosures made to readers.
Your Right to Opt Out
Where applicable law provides an opt-out right, eligible individuals may direct a covered business to stop selling or sharing their personal information for specified purposes.
This may include the right to opt out of disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or other processing activities covered by the relevant statute.
An opt-out request concerns the processing activity to which the legal right applies. It does not automatically require the deletion of every item of information held for unrelated lawful purposes.
For example, information reasonably necessary for website security, maintaining a requested service, or complying with a legal obligation may be subject to different rules from information disclosed for personalized advertising.
Investozora recognizes that a valid opt-out must have a practical effect on the relevant processing. Merely recording a reader’s preference without appropriately applying it to covered activities is not sufficient.
Where an opt-out obligation applies, the publication must handle qualifying requests according to the requirements of the relevant law and the information or identifiers that can reasonably be associated with the request.
Readers who wish to exercise an applicable opt-out right may contact legal@investozora.com.
How to Submit a Do Not Sell or Share Request
Readers may submit an advertising-related privacy request directly to Investozora by emailing legal@investozora.com. The email may use the subject line Do Not Sell or Share Request and should explain the privacy choice the reader wishes to exercise.
Where the website provides a functioning Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information control or a designated privacy preferences interface, readers may also use that mechanism for the choices it supports.
A valid opt-out process should be straightforward and should not require a reader to establish a new account solely to exercise the right where applicable law prohibits that requirement. Investozora seeks to avoid requesting unnecessary information from readers making privacy requests.
A request submitted by email can identify a person or correspondence record, but it may not automatically identify every browser cookie or advertising identifier associated with that individual. Where additional information is necessary to apply a request to a particular processing activity, the publication should explain what is needed and limit the request to information reasonably necessary for that purpose.
Readers should not send government identification numbers, banking credentials, financial account passwords, or other sensitive documents through ordinary email unless an appropriate and secure verification process is specifically required and established.
Submitting an opt-out request does not affect a reader’s ability to access Investozora’s publicly available financial news and economic research.
Global Privacy Control and Automated Opt-Out Signals
Global Privacy Control, commonly known as GPC, is a browser or device-based mechanism designed to communicate a user’s preference not to have personal information sold or shared for certain purposes.
When enabled through a compatible browser or extension, GPC may transmit a privacy preference to websites without requiring the individual to submit a separate request each time.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, businesses subject to the relevant requirements must recognize qualifying opt-out preference signals as valid requests concerning the sale or sharing of personal information. Colorado and Connecticut also recognize applicable universal opt-out mechanisms under their respective privacy laws.
Investozora recognizes these requirements and the importance of ensuring that qualifying signals are applied to the relevant advertising and data-processing activities where legally required.
Effective GPC support requires appropriate technical configuration. The publication of a privacy statement alone does not activate a technical opt-out or establish that every connected advertising service is responding correctly.
Readers using a GPC-enabled browser who believe their privacy preference is not being respected may contact legal@investozora.com for review.
Official guidance about Global Privacy Control is available from the California Department of Justice and the California Privacy Protection Agency.
Cookie Preferences and Advertising Controls
Cookies and similar technologies may support website functionality, audience measurement, advertising delivery, and personalization.
Not every cookie involves the sale or sharing of personal information. Some are used for necessary technical purposes, while others may support activities subject to consent or opt-out requirements.
Readers can manage many cookies through browser privacy settings, including options to restrict storage, block certain cookies, or remove previously stored information.
Where Investozora provides a cookie preferences interface, the choices presented should correspond to the actual categories of technologies operating on the website.
Consent choices and sale-or-sharing opt-outs are related but distinct. A cookie preference mechanism must not be assumed to satisfy every statutory opt-out requirement unless it appropriately controls the relevant sale or sharing activity.
Similarly, disabling a browser cookie does not necessarily remove information already processed by an external service.
Readers should consult the Cookie Policy for a detailed explanation of cookie categories, consent, browser controls, tracking technologies, and data retention.
How an Opt-Out Affects Advertising
An applicable and effectively processed opt-out request is intended to restrict the sale or sharing of personal information covered by the request and the relevant privacy law.
It does not necessarily prevent advertisements from appearing on Investozora.
Advertisements may continue to be displayed based on the context of an article, the general characteristics of the page, or other methods permitted by the applicable rules.
Opting out of personalized advertising may change the information used to select or measure advertisements rather than removing advertising from the website entirely.
Some technical information may still be processed when necessary to maintain website security, prevent advertising fraud, provide requested functionality, or comply with lawful obligations.
An opt-out also may not retroactively reverse every disclosure that occurred before the request was received, although applicable law may impose duties concerning further disclosures and certain downstream recipients.
Investozora’s responsibility is to apply the relevant privacy choice to the processing activities within its legal obligations and technical control.
Browser, Device, and Identifier Limitations
Online advertising frequently relies on identifiers associated with a particular browser, device, session, or account.
A privacy preference applied to one browser may not automatically extend to another device or browsing environment when the systems involved cannot reliably associate them.
Similarly, deleting cookies can remove stored preference information and may affect the ability of a website to recognize a previous choice.
Where applicable law requires a privacy preference to extend to known information associated with the same consumer, the relevant processing must be evaluated accordingly.
Investozora does not assume that a browser-specific action always identifies every record or identifier potentially associated with an individual.
Readers using multiple devices may need to review the available privacy controls in each environment, depending on the system and the scope of the applicable legal right.
A reader who encounters an inconsistent preference or believes an opt-out has not been applied may contact legal@investozora.com.
Access, Correction, and Deletion Rights
An opt-out request is different from a request to access, correct, or delete personal information. Under applicable privacy laws, eligible individuals may have the right to ask whether an organization processes their personal information and obtain access to certain records.
They may also be entitled to request correction of inaccurate information or deletion of qualifying information held by the organization.
These rights may be subject to lawful exceptions concerning security, recordkeeping, legal obligations, the rights of others, or information necessary to provide a requested service.
For example, an organization may be permitted or required to retain limited records associated with legal compliance, fraud prevention, or the documentation of privacy requests.
Investozora evaluates access, correction, and deletion requests separately from advertising-related opt-outs, because the legal conditions and verification requirements may differ.
Readers may submit such requests to legal@investozora.com using the subject line Privacy Request.
Additional information concerning these rights is available in the Privacy Policy.
Identity Verification and Request Security
Investozora seeks to protect individuals against unauthorized access to or alteration of their personal information.
Certain privacy requests, particularly those involving disclosure of personal records or deletion of information associated with an identifiable individual, may require reasonable identity verification.
Verification procedures should be proportionate to the nature of the request, the sensitivity of the information involved, and the risk of unauthorized disclosure.
An advertising-related opt-out request does not necessarily require the same verification process as a request to obtain private correspondence or other identifiable records.
California’s privacy rules generally prohibit requiring identity verification as a condition of processing a qualifying request to opt out of sale or sharing.
Investozora seeks to limit information requests to what is reasonably necessary to establish the nature of the request and implement the applicable right. Readers should not be required to disclose sensitive financial information merely to restrict advertising-related data sharing.
Where a request cannot reasonably be completed without additional information, the publication may explain the limitation and request only the details necessary to proceed.
Authorized Agents and Representative Requests
Certain privacy laws allow an eligible individual to authorize another person or organization to submit a privacy request on their behalf. An authorized agent may be a representative acting under an appropriate authorization, subject to the requirements of the relevant law.
Investozora may request reasonable evidence of authorization when necessary to determine whether an individual is permitted to act on another person’s behalf.
The verification process must be consistent with applicable legal limits and should not create unnecessary barriers to exercising a protected right.
The information provided to establish authorization should be used for the purpose of reviewing and handling the request rather than for unrelated marketing or advertising.
Representatives may direct privacy correspondence to legal@investozora.com, identifying the nature of the request and the capacity in which they are acting.
California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, where that legislation applies to Investozora’s processing activities.
These rights can include requesting access to personal information, obtaining certain information about its use, requesting correction or deletion, limiting certain uses of sensitive personal information, and opting out of qualifying sales or sharing.
California law specifically recognizes the right to opt out of sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The legal definition of sharing can apply to certain advertising technology arrangements even when the organization does not directly sell reader contact lists.
Covered businesses must provide legally sufficient opt-out mechanisms and recognize qualifying opt-out preference signals. California law also prohibits unlawful discrimination against individuals for exercising protected consumer privacy rights.
Investozora recognizes that the application of these provisions depends on the relevant statutory requirements and its actual data-processing activities.
Readers seeking official explanations of California privacy rights may consult the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Department of Justice.
Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia Privacy Rights
Several U.S. states have established comprehensive consumer privacy legislation addressing personal data processing, targeted advertising, and the sale of personal information.
The Colorado Privacy Act provides eligible consumers with rights that include opting out of certain sales of personal data and targeted advertising. Colorado also recognizes approved universal opt-out mechanisms, including Global Privacy Control.
Official information about Colorado’s requirements is available through the Colorado Attorney General.
The Connecticut Data Privacy Act provides qualifying residents with rights concerning access, correction, deletion, and certain forms of personal data processing. Its provisions include rights relating to targeted advertising, personal data sales, and applicable universal opt-out signals.
Official information is available from the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General.
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act establishes privacy rights concerning qualifying personal data processing, including rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, and profiling activities.
The applicable statutory provisions are available through the Code of Virginia.
These laws differ in definitions, eligibility requirements, exceptions, and processing obligations. Investozora evaluates requests according to the legal framework applicable to the circumstances rather than assuming that every state provides identical protections.
Other U.S. State Privacy Protections
Privacy legislation continues to develop across the United States, with additional states establishing or modifying consumer data protection requirements.
Depending on the applicable law, these protections may include rights concerning access, correction, deletion, targeted advertising, personal data sales, profiling, sensitive information, or automated privacy preferences.
The scope of a particular statute may depend on the organization’s activities, the volume or categories of information processed, the type of commercial activity involved, and other statutory conditions.
Investozora does not represent that every state privacy law applies automatically to every reader interaction. Where a law applies to the publication’s activities, qualifying privacy requests must be evaluated according to that law’s requirements.
Readers seeking to exercise an applicable right may contact legal@investozora.com, identifying the nature of their request.
The publication seeks to maintain consistent privacy principles while recognizing the differences among applicable legal frameworks.
Sensitive Personal Information
Some privacy laws provide additional protections for categories of personal information considered particularly sensitive.
Depending on the relevant statute, sensitive personal information may include government identification numbers, financial account credentials, precise geolocation, certain health information, biometric information, or other specially protected categories.
Investozora does not require readers to submit confidential financial credentials, Social Security numbers, or tax identification numbers as a condition of accessing publicly available reporting or research.
Information voluntarily submitted through correspondence may nevertheless contain sensitive details if a reader chooses to include them. The publication encourages readers to avoid sending unnecessary confidential information through ordinary contact forms or email.
Where sensitive information is received, its handling should remain limited to an appropriate purpose and subject to applicable safeguards.
Eligible individuals may have additional rights concerning sensitive personal information where the relevant privacy law provides such protections.
Children’s Privacy and Additional Protections for Minors
Investozora publishes financial news and economic research for a general audience and does not direct its ordinary website services toward children under the age of 13.
The publication does not knowingly seek to collect children’s personal information through ordinary readership activities. Certain privacy laws establish additional restrictions on the sale or sharing of personal information relating to minors.
Under California law, special consent requirements apply to qualifying sales or sharing of the personal information of consumers under the age of 16.
The requirements differ depending on the age of the child and whether the applicable authorization must be provided by a parent or guardian. Investozora does not treat the general availability of public news articles as permission to bypass these protections.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information may request a review by contacting legal@investozora.com.
Official information concerning children’s online privacy is available through the Federal Trade Commission.
Equal Access and Non-Discrimination
Investozora believes that readers should be able to access its publicly available financial journalism and economic research without being required to agree to optional personalized advertising.
Exercising a legally protected privacy right should not result in unlawful discrimination, retaliation, or the denial of ordinary public editorial access.
Readers who request an advertising opt-out may continue to access news articles, economic analysis, research resources, and other publicly available material.
A privacy choice may affect optional functionality or the personalization of advertisements where those features depend on the information processing being restricted.
It does not alter the factual content of Investozora’s reporting or the editorial standards applied to its articles. Where privacy laws prohibit discriminatory treatment for exercising protected rights, Investozora must comply with those requirements.
The publication’s objective is to maintain accessible journalism while respecting reader choices concerning the use of personal information.
Advertising Providers and Service Responsibilities
Investozora may rely on external service providers for website hosting, security, analytics, advertising delivery, communication services, and other technical functions. The information available to each provider depends on the nature of its service and the relevant technical configuration.
Some providers may process information on Investozora’s behalf under contractual restrictions. Others may act under separate legal responsibilities depending on the purpose of processing and the applicable law.
A disclosure to a service provider does not automatically constitute a sale or sharing under every privacy statute.
However, information transmitted for personalized advertising may require additional examination when identifying the processing activities affected by an opt-out request.
Investozora seeks to ensure that its privacy choices are reflected in the relevant website configuration and, where required, communicated or applied to recipients of covered information.
The publication does not assume that a provider’s general privacy policy alone establishes compliance with Investozora’s own obligations.
Responsible handling requires understanding which services receive relevant information and what technical controls are necessary to apply a valid privacy choice.
Data Retention and Previous Disclosures
An opt-out of qualifying advertising-related sharing is not identical to a request to delete all personal information.
Certain records may remain necessary for legitimate purposes such as website security, preventing unauthorized activity, handling editorial correspondence, maintaining subscription preferences, or meeting legal obligations.
Information relating to the receipt and handling of privacy requests may also need to be retained for an appropriate period to document the action taken.
An opt-out generally concerns future processing within its lawful scope and does not automatically erase every record previously disclosed to an external service.
Where applicable law imposes obligations concerning downstream recipients or previously disclosed information, those requirements must be evaluated and addressed.
Investozora seeks to avoid retaining personal information beyond the purposes for which it is reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and operational requirements.
Further information concerning retention is available in the Privacy Policy.
Processing Privacy Requests and Response Standards
Investozora receives privacy-related correspondence through legal@investozora.com. Requests should be reviewed according to their nature, the information reasonably available to the publication, and the privacy law that applies.
A request to restrict advertising-related sharing may require different handling from a request to obtain a copy of private correspondence or delete identifiable records.
Where applicable law establishes deadlines, verification requirements, or response procedures, the publication must assess and meet those requirements.
If a request requires clarification or additional information, Investozora may explain the issue and seek only the details reasonably necessary to address it.
A request may be subject to a lawful exception, but an exception should not be presumed merely because fulfilling the request requires technical or administrative work.
Where the publication cannot complete a request, it should provide an appropriate explanation consistent with applicable legal requirements.
The purpose of the process is to provide meaningful responses rather than relying on a general privacy statement as a substitute for handling individual concerns.
Review, Appeals, and Regulatory Complaints
Certain privacy laws provide a process for individuals to challenge or appeal a decision concerning their personal data rights.
Where an applicable statute requires an internal appeal mechanism, Investozora must provide the relevant procedure and address the appeal according to the legal requirements.
Readers who believe a request has been handled incorrectly may contact legal@investozora.com with the original request details and an explanation of their concern.
The publication may review whether the request was correctly understood, whether the applicable law was properly identified, and whether the relevant processing activity was adequately addressed.
Where a reader has a statutory right to approach a competent privacy regulator or attorney general, this notice does not restrict that right.
Information about California consumer privacy complaints is available through the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Department of Justice.
Readers in other states may consult the appropriate official authority responsible for the relevant privacy law.
Editorial Independence and Reader Information
Investozora’s editorial reporting is grounded in official government records, documented financial information, transparent calculations, and independently attributed analysis.
The publication’s factual research may use records published by the Federal Reserve, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other relevant U.S. government institutions.
These official source records are distinct from information collected about individuals accessing the website.
Reader browsing activity, newsletter registrations, device identifiers, and advertising data are not treated as official economic evidence merely because the information is available through website systems.
Advertising providers do not acquire editorial authority over the publication because they participate in delivering or measuring advertisements.
A reader’s decision to restrict advertising-related processing does not alter the standards used to verify an economic report or the conclusions supported by official records.
Maintaining a clear separation between editorial evidence, reader information, and commercial operations is part of Investozora’s institutional commitment to transparent publishing.
Relationship to Investozora’s Privacy Policies
This Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information notice focuses on applicable rights concerning advertising-related disclosures and related personal information requests.
The Privacy Policy explains the broader categories of information processed through the website, the purposes of processing, service providers, data retention, security, and individual privacy rights.
The Cookie Policy addresses cookies, scripts, tracking technologies, consent considerations, and browser-based privacy controls.
The Terms and Conditions explain the conditions governing use of the website and its services, while the Legal Disclosures page provides information about institutional and legal responsibilities.
These documents are intended to work together and should describe the same underlying data-processing practices accurately. No statement in this notice overrides a privacy right that applicable law makes non-waivable.
Readers are encouraged to review the relevant document when seeking information about a particular processing activity or privacy right.
Changes to This Notice
Investozora may revise this notice when applicable privacy laws, advertising technologies, reader controls, or website data practices change.
Updates may also be necessary when a service provider introduces a new form of processing, an existing technology changes how information is shared, or a new legal requirement affects the available opt-out methods.
The Last Updated date at the beginning of this page identifies the most recent substantive revision. The publication seeks to maintain consistency between its public privacy notices and the actual operation of its website.
A revised notice does not replace the need to implement functioning privacy controls or obtain consent where applicable law requires it. Investozora’s long-term commitment is to maintain understandable disclosures and practical accountability for the processing of reader information.
